| * | Laurie A. Cumbo | ~SPONSOR | Environmental Protection | Underground storage tank protocols for city-owned and city permitted storage of biodiesel blends. | Introduction | This bill proposed local law amends Chapter 24-177 of the administrative code of the city of New York by adding a new section 24-177.1. The proposed local lawbill prohibits storage of biodiesel blends of greater than twenty percent when underground storage tank components are not compatible with the substance stored. The legislation identifies system parts critical for demonstrating compatibility, requires that owners or operators of underground storage tanks use components that are certified by a nationally recognized independent testing laboratory or use components approved by the manufacturer or another implementing agency determined to be adequately protective of public health and the environment. The proposed local law legislation permits the Fire Department to issue a citywide waiver where biodiesel blends of 20% biodiesel or less are stored in city-owned underground storage tanks. The local law also authorizes the Fire Department to issue a variance where biodiesel blends greater than 20% biodiesel are stored in city-owned underground storage tanks provided that the standards for granting the variance establish that the storage method is adequately protective of public health and the environment. Finally, owners or operators of underground storage tank systems must keep records of leak detection performance claims for a period of at least five years and owners or operators of underground storage tank systems must keep records that document compliance with the compatibility requirement for as long as the underground storage tank is used to store biodiesel blends. | Referred to Comm by Council | |

| * | Helen K. Rosenthal | ~SPONSOR | Environmental Protection | Creation of a department of sustainability and climate change and repealing section 20 of chapter 1 of the New York city charter. | Introduction | This proposed legislation would repeal the existing office of sustainability and replace it with a new Department of Sustainability and Climate Change. A Commissioner would head the new department. The Commissioner would be responsible for all matters relating to resiliency of critical infrastructure, the built environment, coastal protection and coastal communities and climate change. The commissioner would also be responsible for all matters pertaining to recovery and resiliency and sustainability. The commissioner would have the power to develop and coordinate the implementation of policies, programs and actions to meet the long-term needs of the city, to develop measurable sustainability indicators and to take actions to increase public awareness and education regarding sustainability and climate change. The proposed legislation also creates a sustainability advisory board with representatives from the environmental, environmental justice, planning, architecture, engineering, oceanography, coastal protection, construction, critical infrastructure, labor, business and academic sectors. The legislation requires reporting on existing or revised sustainability indicators and population projections. The Commissioner will be required to develop and coordinate the implementation of a comprehensive, long-term sustainability plan for the city for a period of at least 30 years. The plan is required to set milestones, interim and long-term goals, to be updated every four years and to include annual reports on the city’s progress in improving the sustainability indicators.
